    What was it all about?

    Running from August 2013 to the end of the 2015/16 financial year, this project supported the employment of a part-time industry development officer for the Australian chestnut industry.

    The officer was responsible for the promotion of best practice production and handling guidelines to…

    • Assist growers in improving productivity and nut quality, and adopting market-preferred varieties
    • Address on-farm pest and disease issues and identify broader R&D priorities
    • Assess future industry chemical requirements and provide support for the chemical registration and permitting processes
    • Support chestnut industry biosecurity processes, including grower education.

    Activities undertaken within this project included, but weren’t limited to, the organisation of farm walks and industry symposiums; preparation of technical bulletins, reports and other information for growers; season surveys and data collection for the provision of production and projected planting data to growers.
